| In March 2060, NYPSD police lieutenant Eve Dallas watches an action movie with her husband, Roarke, when an official call comes in from Commander Whitney. He tells her to go to a crime scene without providing her any information as to why he ordered her to do this on her day off. When she arrives at the location and examines the corpse, she knows why her superior provided her with nothing.
Eve realizes that Whitney wanted her to verify independently his theory about “the Groom” a serial killer who tortures his victims to death and then carves into their bodies how long they lasted under torture. Dallas believes this is the same culprit whom she failed to catch nine years ago. He had killed four women back then and many others in other states and countries, but apparently he is back in NYC. Eve vows to cage this animal.
Nora Roberts writing as J. D. Robb is at the top of her game in Creation in Death, the latest exciting entry in her futuristic police procedural series. Even though the tale occurs only five plus decades from now, the reader can easily accept the future ambience, as tidbits are blended into the fine storyline. This is a terrific cat and mouse thriller with the determined Eve assuming she is the hungry cat on the prowl while her opponent is a master tiger tamer. | | |
